I've found a 3mm hubcentric spacer for our cars.

Now the question is, has anyone ever heard of a 2mm hubcentric spacer for our cars?

 

why exactly do you need 2mm?

 

Because I don't want to space it 3mm.

 

Probably not. Most spacers are cut out of readily available stock. I can get 1mm, 1/8" (3mm), and 1/4" (6.3mm) Aluminum plate. I know that 5mm is advertised, too. My guess is that you would pay out the *** for a 2mm spacer, but I could be wrong.

 

I'm with you, I'm trying to figure out why .040' makes a difference on wheel spacing as well.

 

Because I want to keep it as close to the caliper as I'm comfortable with and I'm **** about an extra 1mm.

 

If the wheels have a 67.1 centerbore and are designed to be hubcenter (e.g., the OE wheels), then I would not use a 2 or 3 mm spacer. Why not? Because that's 2 or 3 mm less hub inside the centerbore of the wheel. And you want all of it.

If the wheels have a larger centerbore, then you can get thin spacers with a built-in centering ring and have the entire original amount (or more) of hub inside the wheel's centerbore. That's fine.

If the wheels are intended to be lug-centric, then you're fine either way.

 

I completely understand this. I am really not happy with the way that my current wheels sit. I wanted 18x10.5" ET22, but I settled for ET20. Then, I learned that the Miro wheels won't clear the calipers quite right. On top of that, the barrels are too small to run larger rotors/bigger calipers.

Bottom Line: Pay the extra money to guarantee that your wheels will be what you absolutely want.

 

2mm spacers are most likely not going to have a centering ring, correct? It's for a 75 centerbore wheel, using 75 to 67.1 hub rings. If the spacer is hubcentric, the centerbore of the spacer should be 67.1 right?

I'm just annoyed that Enkei went with the R-Face on my 10" wheel, even though the 10.5" wheel of the same offset that has the M-Face is offered as a fit for the Evo X.

 

If you search around, there's a place (that I can't remember the name of right now) that will make spacers with built-in hubcentric rings. They are CNC'd from a single piece of stock, so the ring maintains good strength. That would be the safest option for you (by far).

I actually own a set, but they were loaned to someone who has neglected to return them. No use to you, anyway as they were 67.1 to 72.? rings.

 

Sweet, thanks!

 

Adaptec Speedware?

 

Maybe. But I got mine from http://www.motorsport-tech.com/wheel_spacers.html

 

Ordered my 3mm spacers, thanks!
